Spiral wound gaskets are special semi-metallic gaskets of great resilience. This makes them very suitable for applications featuring heavy operating conditions. Spiral wound gaskets are manufactured by spirally winding a V-shaped metal strip and a strip of non-metallic filler material. Spiral wound gaskets can be used for sealing flange joints, manhole and handhold covers, tube covers, boilers, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, pumps, compressors and valves; in industries such as petrochemical, pharmaceutical, shipbuilding, and food processing, in power industries and nuclear power stations. They are ideal for steam, oil, liquids, gases, acids, alkalines, and various organic mediums and solvents.
